Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2024 guide) 2 stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more consistent and uniform than the previous one)
About the estate:
Brother of the famous Jo Pithon, a leading figure in the Layon hillsides in the 1990s, Olivier Pithon fell in love with the terroirs of Calce, where his adventure began in 2001. A fervent biodynamicist, he imbues his vintages with a distinct identity, producing wines that are delicious and easy to enjoy.

Wine rated (2025 guide) 89/100
Rated estate (2024 guide) 2 stars (These very large estates, often blessed with fabulous terroirs, are must-haves which, thanks to their consistency and the excellence of their production, deserve a place in the cellars of discerning wine lovers).
About wine:
My Little Python, juicy to perfection, with a distinct yet delicate texture and very pulpy fruit.
About the estate:
This is the story of a winemaker from Anjou, who passed through Bordeaux and fell in love with the village of Calce in 2000. In 2001, Olivier Pithon found some 7 hectares in the area and immediately bought his first biodynamic cultivator to apply biodynamic practices. The estate was certified in 2010. Today, it covers a total of 22 hectares in three areas with distinct geologies (schist, marl, and clay-limestone). The winery, built outside the village, also allows the winemaker to vinify his small business with grapes from quality winegrowers who share his philosophy. All the wines are charming, with a very delicate mouthfeel and energy. Always joyful, expressive, and juicy, these cuvées develop extra body and tension in the wines for aging. A benchmark estate.

Very disappointed with this wine, which I found acidic. I have tasted better wines from this region.

Note and opinion by Mr. GILLES D. Published on 09/10/2024
With its understated and wonderfully juicy character, this little thirst-quenching cuvée has no other ambition than to offer a young, supple, and fluid wine that highlights delicious red fruit intertwined with a few peppery spices, with a touch of acidity as a counterpoint. No tannins. Fresh and diffuse finish. Balanced and pleasant, even at its stable price. Allow to breathe well before serving to avoid a sparkling effect. Easy to drink (13%) and without complexity, it will be a pleasure to accompany a convivial tapas dinner featuring Iberian pork until the end of summer. Rating = 3.7.
